You can associate financial entries with tasks.

  • You can create an association from a financial entry to a task within the same project (requires Project > Edit > Forecasts and/or Actuals permission and at least View permission on tasks). Note that the financial entry must be configured to show task associations AND the task category must be configured to show Financial Entries associations; if you do not see "Associated Tasks" in the Associations tab (or no Associations tab at all), please contact your PPM Pro administrator.
  • You can create an association from the task to a financial entry (requires Project > Edit > Tasks permission and at least View permission for forecasts and/or actuals). Note that the task must be configured to show financial entry associations and the financial entry category must be configured to show task associations; if you do not see "Associated Financial Entries" in the task's Associations tab (or no Associations tab at all), please contact your PPM Pro administrator.

Associations allow you to show relationships between the revenue or expense entry and one or more tasks. For example, if a development task requires that a software license be purchased, you can associate that task with an expense entry for the cost of the software license. This provides you a quick way to access the task when looking at the entry's Associated Tasks, or, to access a financial entry when looking at the task's Associated Financial Entries.
